You're refreshingly open and unpretentious.<BR/><BR/>I'm several stages behind you (background in non-fiction writing; got an agent but no-go with first novel; second novel rewrite currently with agent; part way through third novel; and some ideas for fourth). What a minefield it all is!<BR/><BR/>Am I right in thinking that you, like me, are primarily looking for finance to keep writing more novels rather than hoping to make a quick killing followed by retirement in Tuscany? (Not that I'm totally against that unlikely outcome...)<BR/><BR/>I check back every couple of days to see if anything is happening, so please do keep up the entries if you find time.<BR/><BR/>Though I won't deny a feeling of envy, I do find your experiences inspiring. I'm delighted that success is coming your way. Good on you.<BR/><BR/>Cheers, Joe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146862549146540514.post-91075792407048564372008-05-13T13:26:00.000-07:002008-05-13T13:26:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146862549146540514.post-23531688657382229462008-05-06T00:06:00.000-07:002008-05-06T00:06:00.000-07:00Oh, I see . . . nothing much happening - except fo...Oh, I see . . . nothing much happening - except for a top author reading my book and really enjoying it!!!!<BR/><BR/>Wish nothing much was happening in my life then!Lizzieehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00237223597276507109noreply@blogger.com
